Emma Watson, who we all know and love for her role as the “brightest witch of her age, ” Hermione Granger, teamed up with Disney to promote this year’s “Magic of Storytelling” campaign. Emma narrates Disney’s beautifully crafted campaign video, which promotes their cause and encourages viewers to donate.
Along with her two most popular film roles being bibliophiles, Hermione and Belle, Watson is also an active advocate of education for women, making her a natural choice to support a charity dedicated to books. She has her own feminist Goodreads book club, which encourages reading as well as discussions on feminism, and is a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador.
The “Magic of Storytelling” campaign’s goal is to provide books for children who cannot easily access them on their own. Books and stories open new worlds for children, as many of us may remember from reading the

The United States is obsessed with virginity — from the media to schools to government agencies. In ‘The Purity Myth, ’ Jessica Valenti argues that the country’s intense focus on chastity is damaging to young women. Through in-depth cultural and social analysis, Valenti reveals that powerful messaging on both extremes — ranging from abstinence-only curriculum to ‘Girls Gone Wild’ infomercials — place a young woman’s worth entirely on her sexuality. Morals are therefore linked purely to sexual behavior, rather than values like honesty, kindness and altruism. Valenti sheds light on the value — and hypocrisy — around the notion that girls remain virgins until they’re married by putting into context the historical question of purity, modern abstinence-only education, pornography and public punishments for those who dare to have sex. ‘The Purity Myth’ presents a revolutionary argument that girls and women are overly valued for their sexuality, as well as solutions for a future without a damaging emphasis on virginity.
